I Know Something You Don't Know. I Know it from 1st Hand Experience that None of You Have. I know that Most People Want an Egalitarian Revolution.

I know this because I have ASKED thousands of random people on the street, and you don't know it because you have not.

I have asked literally thousands of random people—

• random people on the street in many different neighborhoods of Boston where people listen to liberal NPR, and

• people in the rural New Hampshire town named Unity where they listen to conservative talk radio and not NPR, and

• random people at a pro-Trump rally in support of the right to bear arms where they were all white, most wearing the MAGA cap and many wearing NRA-branded clothing—

the following simple question:

“Do you think the message shown on this button is a good idea or a bad idea?”

Here’s the message on the button:

In every case 80% or more (often more!) of the people said it was a good idea, or a great idea!

You can watch videos of me asking random people this question and read about how thousands of people signed statements saying the same as the message above; it’s all in my Substack article titled, “Here's PROOF Most People Want an Egalitarian Revolution. Let's Tell Them We Agree!”

But maybe, you might think, I’m lying or that the people I spoke to are freak exceptions

How do you know I’m telling the truth? Maybe I faked the videos and hired people to act in them and say they agreed with the revolutionary egalitarian message.

How do you know that even if I’m telling the truth, it doesn’t mean most people want an egalitarian revolution; it only means that most people in the places where I happened to ask people do so? Maybe Boston and Unity, N.H. are freak exceptions unlike most places in the United States, and certainly unlike where YOU live, uh?

Sure, you might WISH that most people want an egalitarian revolution; you might HOPE that people do so; you may ACCEPT the intellectual argument that most people are treated like dirt by the rich and so would logically want to remove the rich from power, etc; you might even NOD your head in agreement with my assertions that most people want an egalitarian revolution. But that is not the same thing as KNOWING—knowing in your bones, knowing with as much certainty as you know that when you jump up you will fall back down—that most people would love an egalitarian revolution to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor.

And because you don’t KNOW that you are literally surrounded by people who would love an egalitarian revolution (people who, yes, also think it is impossible because they wrongly believe they are alone in this aspiration) you therefore do NOT take seriously the strategy I keep asking you (in virtually all my Substack posts) to start implementing to build the egalitarian revolutionary movement. The strategy is to help people learn that in wanting an egalitarian revolution they are NOT alone but rather are the vast majority. I spell out and explain the importance of that strategy (again!) here, where I provide suggestions for immediate steps you can take tomorrow even just by yourself.

But you, my regular readers, just ignore my request that you implement this strategy. Why?

Is it because the strategy is to do things (there are zillions of different things you could do) to help people learn and come to know that they are NOT alone in wanting an egalitarian revolution but are in fact the great majority in this aspiration?

Is it because the strategy is based on the fact (as I learned in 1969 and wrote about here) that when people know they are not alone in wanting an egalitarian revolution then they will stop feeling so hopeless and will have the confidence to act like the great majority they actually are, to build the egalitarian revolutionary movement large and strong enough to make something like THIS happen? I mean actually and truly remove the rich from power, not just protest against what the rich do.

Do you refuse to implement this strategy because you don’t really believe—you don’t KNOW in your bones—that most people really do want an egalitarian revolution? Is that it?

Does the strategy I propose rest on an assumption that you don’t believe is true?

Please consider that the REASON you don’t believe it is true is because the ruling class with its mass media and “independent” media has 100% censored ALL expressions of the egalitarian revolutionary aspiration. The result is that IN YOUR BONES you have concluded that hardly anybody else HAS that egalitarian revolutionary aspiration. The ruling class has made YOU hopeless. That’s the #1 purpose of government propaganda, after all, as I have discussed here.

Has the ruling class made you so hopeless, so mistrustful of your neighbors, so sure that they will think you crazy or evil if you let them know you want an egalitarian revolution, that you FEAR even asking random people if they think the egalitarian revolutionary message on the button is a good idea or a bad idea? Do you FEAR asking your neighbors this question? Otherwise, why don’t you do it????

You can find out for yourself if what I’ve been saying about most people is true or not. Why don’t you do it?

If you would like me to mail you some stickers (same image as the button) for free to make it easy for you to ask people if they think its message is a good or a bad idea, email me a request at spritzler@comcast.net and put “sticker” in the subject line and provide me the postal address to which I should mail the stickers. Please also read this too. :)

If you want to find out if people want an egalitarian revolution, then do NOT ask them questions designed to confirm your (wrong) belief that most people think the status quo is just fine:

Do not ask people, “Do you think Socialism is better than capitalism?”

Do not ask people, “Do you think the Covid vaccinations are designed to harm us, not benefit us?”

Do not ask people, “Do you agree that Trump is much worse than Harris?

These kinds of questions do not at all ascertain whether people think it is a good idea or a bad idea to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor. You might think the answers to these questions are “yes,” but the fact of the matter is that MILLIONS of people who would answer ‘no’ to such questions also answer “Yes!” to the question “Is it a good idea to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor?”

Why is this?

It is because people know FROM THEIR OWN DIRECT EXPERIENCE that the rich treat the have-nots like dirt and exercise a dictatorship of the rich over us, and that it would be wonderful to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor.

But people do NOT know from their own experience whether Socialism is better than capitalism and have heard lots of reasons for thinking it is not. And people do NOT know from their own experience whether the Covid vaccinations are harmful or beneficial (how can you tell without access to tons of data that you are confident is not “cooked,” and scientific analysis of them done by people you can trust?) And who cares which of two horrible lying pro-rich presidential candidates people think is the better or worse one?

Remember that 86% of people at the pro-Trump rally thought the egalitarian revolutionary message on the button was a good idea or a GREAT idea! And remember that the very anti-establishment truckers who organized that convoy in Canada against mandatory Covid vaccinations were willingly more vaccinated on average than the general population.

If you really want to know if most people do or don’t want an egalitarian revolution, then ask them THAT (which is what the question about the button’s message does), not some different question. OK?

But do you really want to know?

I don’t know. Do you? Might you be nervous about finding out the truth? Might you worry that if you found out that what I’ve been saying is true then it would mean you ought to enact the strategy I’ve been urging you to enact?

I don’t know. You tell me.

The signatures displayed above and below (at the entrance of a grocery store) are for This I Believe. More than 80% of those who read it sign it.

I displayed this banner in the Brighton, MA Faneuil branch library (my neighborhood library) October 29, 2019. The banner contains photos of more than 500 people--all in Brighton, MA, zip code 02135—each posing for their photo by holding a sign saying "We the People want affordable housing for ALL. To get it we aim to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor." People at the library loved it! (Some of them had their photo in the banner.)​
